Chosfox Announces Init40 40% Wireless Mechanical Keyboard

Chosfox, the niche mechanical keyboard maker responsible for the Geonix48 ortholinear keyboard series, has officially announced the Init40 as its latest take on the 40% layout. Instead of the ortholinear layout of the Geonix boards, the Init40 features a much more familiar row stagger that should make it much easier to get used to for first-time users of tiny keyboards.

In the announcement post, Chosfox revealed that the Init40 is meant to be a keyboard that answers the question "How small can a keyboard become without giving up what makes it enjoyable to use?" As such, it's likely that the Init40's diminutive form factor won't be for everyone, but it is designed for niche keyboard enthusiasts who don't mind customizing their layout and getting used to a smaller keyboard.
